Who are the current gatekeepers of hip hop?

TikTok, baby. if you wanna make it in this game you need to take it up with Addison Rae.

I don’t think there are any

none...which is one of the reasons why things are the way they are

DJ Akademiks

Video essayists lowkey.

Before you dance on the table at interscope records you must defeat 3 waves of enemies followed by a round with davidp:

Anthony Fantano is lowkey a gatekeeper himself.

not really what relevant people has he put on in any recent memory

Death Grips.

J/k.

You either make garbage music that caters to tasteless zoomers or you’re an old head. There is no in between

Idk man

unironically he is responsible but they're not really relevant in hip hop and also that was a decade ago

Y’all talk about new rappers like this but then go and hype up s*** like it’s almost dry lol

does fantano have any hits since brockhampton

It’s almost dry f***ing sucks along with pretty much push’s entire solo career

maybe a decade ago for a year or two

Are the streaming platforms/playlists the new gate keepers?
